About us
Explore photography with fellow shutterbugs! Immerse yourself with people who enjoy shooting at great locations throughout Northern California. Every meetup is designed to challenge us as photographers; to discover new techniques, swap tips and ideas, compare equipment and share images. And we have fun doing it!
Anyone with an interest in photography is welcome, whether you are a beginner, a serious amateur, or a professional. If you love to shoot photographs and/or want to find out what is going on in the world of photography, then please join us on one of our scheduled events.
